wow so much hassle forgive me for saying that but is it really worse it? Would it just better to do regular 50% and 100% water changes less hassle for you and for fish? Fish without cycling live long and happy life just like all my bettas. Sorry i just feel bad for all that hassle.

+1 but then it will be a lot of WC and stress to the fish...

maybe see if you can fit an API filter in your tank because they have a Nitra-Zorb that absorbs ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate filter media.

Almost through the cycle now. Nitrites is the last part of the cycle and will save on water changes in the long rung

even in a cycled tank, nitrates will continue to build unless you remove with water change. with your situation, I'd think a little chemical will be helpful in bringing it down to a liveable param for the betta. my $0.02
